Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-5
Severity: important
Hi,
Since lenny was released and I upgraded my system with the new sid
packages, I face an important bug in GDM. At system startup, gdm is
launched with a qwerty keymap. But the only locale installed on my
system is fr_FR.UTF-8 and Xorg is configured to use "fr" as the default
keymap.
A few details:
- apart from the keymap, the rest of the interface is correctly
localized, so it seems to be more a problem of the weird things done
with setxkbmap in /etc/gdm/Init/Default than a problem of locale.
- by default, the selected locale is "last locale used". If I select
either "French" or "System default", the keymap is changed to "fr"
immediately. Even if I select "last language used" once again beyond
this point, the keymap remains in "fr".
- if do not touch the locale selection menu and login using the qwerty
keymap, the keymap is then correctly set to "fr" in my session.
Moreover, in both cases, when I logout, the keymap stays in "fr".
Well, this is annoying but I'm describing an easy workaround, so why
tagging this as "important"? Because this bug does indeed render the
system unusable for some users. Namely, when:
- gdm is configured with a login browser,
- the user chooses its login name by clicking on it,
- then its password is rejected.
In that (real-life) example, the user has no clue what's going on
(remember, the interface is still in French). And gdm with a login
browser in designed for such (possibly unexperienced) users who will
then be locked out of the system.
So please, fix this bug to save my grand-mother ;-)
Regards,
Gabriel Kerneis

.
* Initialize extension with the right number of events. This should fix
issues when libXi announces more events than the X server will actually
send for that extension, and thus smashes Xlib's event vector (closes:
#515734, #515946). Patch by Peter Hutterer, analysis by Nathan Kidd.
* Upload to unstable.
